Why is the NY Tenant Data Privacy Act important?
New York City is poised to pass a new biometric data privacy law that is unique in that it:
Would require that landlords provide tenants with notice if they collect data on them via biometric data and keyless entry;
Restricts the sharing, with third parties, of information collected in connection with biometric data via keyless entry; and
Provides a private cause of action for tenants that have their biometric data sold without consent.
